I know this is made as a humorous video, but there is a lot more in the picture than the context gives.
PF is old. The framework hasn't had a rewrite since early 2015 (It's also way beyond the point of a possible rewrite and maintain all the functionality as all the server and client code together in PF is about almost 200k characters, which is about the equivalent of the first 3 harry potter books.) We even we hit lua's upvalue limit (which is 60 upvalues in the scope) and local limit (which is 200 locals in the scope) which prevented the proceeding of equipment. We eventually had to work around the upvalue limit and the frameworks quality went downhill.
Roblox has since made luau (Their own spin on lua) which raised the upvalue limit. But the framework is at the point if you add or change a line you are likely to break something or cause a obscure game breaking bug.
Currently in test place I'm restructuring a bunch of it to be in modulescripts, so later down the line we can better maintain and make additions and rewrite stuff. Currently it's hard to add content that won't require extra scripting but hopefully in the future this may be not a problem.

TL;DR: PF is getting hard to maintain. And it's code is about the size of 3 harry potter books, but in the future it may be possible to add content other than guns and attachments without everything breaking.

DerpCube It's easy for you to say. But you aren't doing the actual work. There is a difference in outcome between sitting on a lounge chair telling people what to do while not taking part in the actual work. Compared to somebody who is experienced and puts actual thought and consideration into their input.
The first results in people not considering your input and flat out ignoring you. The latter results in people actually considering your input and actually giving feedback on the circumstances.
So I'm giving you a suggestion, take a look at what you are saying and what I'm saying before I ignore you. I don't have to take your input. You are not entitled to my workflow.

Darkman_Bree Thanks, I see the problem. Fixed the cooldown stuff in version 4.15.0e.

Darkman_Bree I might eventually stream development, I probably won't be directly work on the game if I do though. Maybe smaller parts of the code in a separate instance to ensure nothing confidential in our code gets leaked. Cause when I work directly on the game I tend to hop all over the place looking at referencing implementations and editing existing implementations.

VIP servers have every gun and attachment unlocked by default. - Courtesy of me.
(On another note, I'm going to work on adding more features to VIP servers in the near future. They have been pretty neglected.)

I'm only going to reply to the bulletins that would probably end up to some degree on my to-do list if they were to be done.

• Allow popular PF youtuber/streamers to rename themselves on the leaderboard to prevent video/stream sniping.
  This was a thing, it has since been removed due to possible future code complications. If it were to be revived and made accessible to content creators we would likely have a randomized name generated from a large pre-defined list so if a content-creator gets malicious they can't really slander a user.

• When development is done on Call of Robloxia remake, Give Phantom Forces at least 25% of your attention on updates.
  We really want to keep PF development going when CoR is public, we are still figuring things out so we can simultaneously work on PF and CoR. (The code restructure is to prepare for possible choices, as the main developers are working on CoR for the majority of their day on a regular basis at the moment.)
  So I don't see it likely that we will drop PF development completely over CoR.

  While a interesting idea I want to point a few issues out:
  We can't do recurring subscriptions on roblox, so the user would have to manually pay 50 robux each month.
  Animated Skins, these are still in my plans. Just lower in priorities atm. I want to make this a free feature for having X amount of kills on a weapon. I don't think it should be locked behind a paywall.
  The discord and forum can't be directly advertised due to ROBLOX ToS. (Surprisingly not a lot of people know either exists)

I think it would be fine if you merged the drum mag into the ammo category. But that isn't my call to make.

Spawn functionality is changed:

• A whole new algorithm is in place, spawns will account how far enemies and teammates are to your random spawn location.
  Disclaimer: This is currently being calibrated, may take a couple days or more for it to settle and work effectively.
• We are no longer stuck with the hardcoded limit of 10 spawns for each team, this allows map makers to have better spawn control with larger maps.

Complications with some rewritten code, a lot of that functionality was hardcoded and we are currently trying to move away from hardcoded stuff in PF.

I don't do weapon balancing, this is a question to ask. Mardemon1

ILost3Accounts If we wanted true ambient sound we would have to spam a lot of raycasts and then tweak audio filters accordingly. Considering we would have to spam at least 16 raycasts from the first person view in various directions, then accounting 3rd person players that would be 4-8 casts per a player. It can scale up quick and hurt performance a lot.

Some people's inventory would kill the server doing this. Likely won't happen unless we completely refactor how the inventory is setup in the playerdata. (Aka not having a record for ever single skin/case/key in a large array and instead have a counter for each item)

Yes, It's legit. It's made by shay but he hasn't maintained it lately.

Wingz said in Now I'm wondering with all the guns that have been added in the game, that someday you guys will add rpg and grenade launcher:

Something is telling me the Developers have said no to both these things. Several times.

Overall the class system is pretty solidified to the core of the game. It's not as simple as you would consider. The class system is pretty hard coded across the game itself (Mostly data related). I don't see this being a viable option for the future.

KillGod666 We did this "penetration damage" system beforehand but then we had to verify the projectiles because of exploiters. It would be really inaccurate to do this with the current verification system.
Edit:
Did a bit more elaboration on what specifically.

Roblox has a translation team for "Top Developers" which we qualify for and currently are in the program for, they should be handling this.

Darkman_Bree We are getting rate limited by letsencrypt, something went haywire and kept auto renewing stuff every other day. It may take a while. :/
